Bringer of Luck - Japanese Waving Lucky Cat - Now Solar Powered!

This is cute. In photo it looked like it was a gold color. In reality, it's more like an orange color (plastic). Arm is still waving. It makes some noise, which surprised me since all of my other solar powered novelty toys like this don't. One thing I've noticed with all of these solar powered toys, why do they put the little solar panel on the FRONT! I have them lined up in my window at work. I want them to face ME! Not the outside. I think the solar panel should be on the back. However, even with it on the front, it seems to get enough light to make it work.

***** Update October 2011: Bought this a little over 3 months ago. Worked for awhile, now has stopped working. Have to manually move the arm to get it to start moving (still in a bright sunlit window where it's been from the start), and it moves on its own for a little while, but then stops again!

I really like lucky cats, and have many of them around my home. I keep this little guy in my kitchen window. The one minor thing I have about this product is when the arm starts waving, one of the joints inside squeaks. I used some WD-40 to lube the joint, and it goes away after a minute or so, but I have to re-lube it every few days.

Not bad for the price. If you had this in an office, or a busier place it might not be so annoying, but in the home the squeaking noise can drive you a little crazy after a while. It's pretty loud.

I just received this item today. It's made of cheap plastic but I am not complaining considering what I paid. I love the fact that this is solar powered. I just wish they would have placed the sensor in a better location. Having it in the front makes it a bit difficult to capture sunlight. They should have put the sensor in the back. Then you can put the product in front of a window and have it facing you.

I like this, it is cute and being solar powered really makes it great. It can be set down and left alone, and it will wave.

Sorry, this wasn't nearly like the photo nor did it work with a darn to be honest. The "Gold" finish was really pretty much yellow.

Thankfully purchased thru Amazon so easy return.
